My black brother who lives in Baltimore said something that has stuck with me. He said, "I am tired of having to show people (whites) that I am not like them (black thugs)." His comment was made to convince me that NFL players have valid reasons for protesting our country. I told my brother it is not white America's fault that blacks commit more crimes than any other race except whites. Blacks are only 13% of the population. White Americans did not burden my brother with having to constantly show he is not a thug, blacks did. Like our dad, Dr. Rev. Lloyd E. Marcus, my brother is highly respected in his community; awarded for his service as commissioner of his county's youth football league. However, my brother does dress urban style; causal attire typical of inner city blacks. No, he does not wear his pants below his butt.
